So Cappello will announce his England squad tomorrow

[Mentalist]

But will Beckham be a part of it? Becks has 99 caps with England and is desperate to get his century. But will Capello name him tomorrow?

I have a feeling he will despite their history.

Pick him. Play him. Then never pick him again.

I don't think he should be discounted from going beyond 100 even though he will clearly not be in any long term plans. His technical ability is still a great asset and he is extremely fit so is still playing like he's in his late 20's.

 

[Gagh]

He's lost a pile of pace, and he can hardly make it through 90 minutes. By all means introduce him to the set-up, but I'd prefer to see Aaron Lennon get a run. He played well on Sunday until subbed because of a team-mate's red-card.

agreed; D, I wouldn't say Becks is still running with any great speed ; - his knee seems to give out at a certain point in time, too.

- BUT - I defy anyone who slags his ability at set-pieces. They should keep him on hand for that and stop expecting him to save the day in the last fifteen minutes any more.
not sure if that's grammatically correct, but you know what I mean.

and oh, yeah, Lennon is a speedy little so-and-so!
